I got through this one, but just barely. Katherine is a Dr. who has just finished her residency and she gets a call from her brother TJ saying he is in trouble and he is hiding out in Mexico. He tells her not to look for him and not to tell anyone. So naturally the first thing she does is tell people and go look for him. She tells Jake, who she dated 10 years before. They split up because his father had died and he increasingly got into things that were more and more dangerous and out of control and she was focused on her career and had no time for that.

So, he takes her to Mexico to look for TJ. The mystery part of the story involving some lighting “magic”, drug cartels and crooked corporations was somewhat interesting. The romance between Katherine and Jake, was not. They were both still holding a grudge after 10 years. TEN YEARS! They often acted like young teenagers. Jake took a temper tantrum and Katherine tried to calm him down with a kiss. It all just felt ridiculous and I didn't feel they had any chemistry. They needed to grow up and act like adults and not just in the bedroom.
